This invention relates to wigs generally and more particularly to wigsadapted for use in connection with millinery display figures, orwherever a hat is worn with the 'said wig. One of the objects of theinvention is to produce a wig section for millinery display figures,comprising the lower portion of the Wig, the upper edge of which isenclosed in a substantially wide protective band or bind-v tially in thenovel arrangement and co-rela- A tion of parts herein fully described,and illust-rated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar referencecharacters are used to describe corresponding parts throughout theseveral views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined andindicated in the appended claims. v

The disclosure made the basis of eXemplifying the present inventiveconcept suggestsV a practical embodiment thereof, but the inj vention isnot to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and thelatter, there- V fore, is to be understood from an illustrative, ratherthan a restrictive standpoint. 1

A In the drawings accompanying this specication Figure 1 is a front viewof a millinery display figure showing my invention as'appliedl thereto.Y 1

Fig. 2 is a perspectiverview of my improved wig-and Y Fig. 3 is asectional view thereof taken on line 3-8 Fig. 2.

Referring now to the Adrawings in detail 5 indicates our improved wigwhich comprises a hirsute *stripv or wig section 6 having va foundation7 The top edge of thewig is V enclosed by a folded over band orfstrip 8,made of fabric or other suitable material, and

row of stitches A9;

is secured tothe hair or wig sectiony 6 by a` To suspend the wig fromthe head of a millinery display figure 10 orfrom a human head we provideya strip of tape 11 at thek front of the wig and a strip of tape 12which -is connected to the tape 11 at 13 and tothe rear of the wig at14.

In ,thel form of our invention shown in Fig. 1 the strips 11 and 12 arepreferablyfmadepof elastic tape or webbing so that the wig may beadjustable and t different sized heads.

.In Fig.l 2 we have shown the tape 11 secured vat one end tothefoldedover band 8 j by stitches 16, and at the opposite end of thetape 11 we have shown same as provided with one member 17, of aV snapfastener adapted 'to be received in .any one of a series ofcomplementary `members 18 ofthe sa'id snap fastener. The said striportape 11 is also provided at the centerthereof with apart of a snapfastener and the tape 11. with the complementary members 18. f

It will be understood that the upper tape 12 prevents the wig fromdropping downwardly and the front tape 11 holds the wig snugly aroundthe head. Y

lWith theV above arrangement the wig is adapted to be used for varioussizes of display heads and thus avoidthe necessity of having a differentwig for each size of head as was formerly7 the common practice.

It will also be seen that due to the edge .bandV or binding 8 thelifeand appearance yofthe wig is greatly enhanced as no amount of putting ono-r taking off of the hat 20 will marl or destroy the edge of the wig.

' From the foregoing, it will readily be seen thatwe have provided aneat wig to be used for millinery displayv and other purposes, and
